Review: OPI Matte Top Coat

*PR sample

Hello lovelies,

I've taken ages to actually try and test out properly today's product - OPI Matte Top Coat. I don't use matte topcoats very often (even though I like the finish) but when I do, I want it perfectly matte. Not satin, not rubbery but matte.

The Matte Top Coat comes in a matte bottle which I really like, it's a nice touch..

The top coat is really good in giving that really matte look. I would compare it to China Glaze Matte Magic and slightly better than Essie Matte About You. My old bottle of Essie was great but the new one I've recently purchased doesn't do the job as perfectly.

Also my Essie bottle got very gloopy soon after I started to use it and so far I don't have the problem with OPI.

Below are some manicures I've 'mattified' with OPI Matte Top Coat

It applies easily and dries fast so the matte effect appears fast. I'm very happy with this matte top coat and I think I will purchase a new one once I finish this bottle. It should be available where OPI is sold :)

Have a lovely day everyone!

I love this one! I have Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love, but they stopped making it :( it was the best one I'd used, and I bought several trying to find a good replacement for it--because, like you, when I say matte I mean MATTE. OPI's fits the bill wonderfully. And all those manis you showed look great! I especially like the glitter and the black and green one :)

I hate when they discontinue a great product :( Well I hope OPI will be a good replacement ;)

Nice! Not sure I care for the matte coat I have now. They never turn out as beautiful as this. These look lovely. :)

I don't have NYC but I've heard is not truly matte. you might want to try the OPI or CHG if you're after stronger effect

I have NYC Matte Me Crazy. I was in Walmart and it was the first one I saw (like, ever saw) so I grabbed it. I'm sure it's not the worst (I heard some lost the matte and go back to shiny. This at least stays matte) although I don't know if it's my polish but the effect doesn't seem as nice with this as I see others online, and it's bumpy.

Which one do you currently have? I'm most happy with OPI and China Glaze, the rest is not as matte

This looks wonderful, I've only ever used ELF's matte top coat, but mine has gone a little gloopy now.
I love the look of mattified glitter, so pretty

Oh god I hated Elf one! It wasn't working for me at all, I didn't even bother reviewing it!

I think this is the best mattefying topcoat I've ever seen!
